FOK JUNKS AND BARGES.
As a large propertion of the export trade, as at present carried on, is trans ported by jurks and barges, provision should be made to accommodate such small craft in any scheme, whether it be designed for the accommodation of deep-draughted ocean-going vessels or steamers of the coaster class:
TYPHOON SHELTER
It happens, invariably, that small craft do not return to work for some Lime after the ty con signals have been lowered, thus causing great delay to shipping. Although the areas of these shelters are sufficiect to accommodate all small craft, it is considered that a very necessary provision in any scheme of wharfage would be shelter from typhoon weather for junks and barges in order that work may be continued as long as possible and be resumed as soon as weather conditions permit,
In regard to ship repair. facilities in the ports of the Colony, it is considered that the present accommodation together with that under construction and pro- fected will meet the needs of shipping for many years to come. It is therefore not proposed to recommend the provision of any extension.
